Resolved Drop Down Menu/ Links At Bottom Not Shown In Box

[PushPurrCatPaws]

Hi!

Some of the links supposed to be shown at the bottom of the drop down menu box under "Forums" are showing up outside of that navigation box. With the backgrounds on some TCS pages, this makes it hard to see the links. I know this is a To Do list low priority, and I'm not sure if anyone else is having this issue.

There are differences between browsers, so I am not sure if it's a browser bug. In Firefox, all the links down to "IMO" are shown in the box and only "Site Help" is out of the box. In Opera, the nav menu box stops after "Cats and Other Animals", leaving several links down outside of the box.

First, an example of what I mean, by showing the drop down box using Firefox

on a page with a white background, but some surrounding text, which makes it harder to see the link outside of the box (see that bottom "Site Help" link is not within the drop down menu):



And here's a homepage image on Opera

, so you can see how (1) there are more links not included in the menu drop down, and (2) how hard it is to see the lost links when they are against a dark, busy backdrop:




Low priority, no rush! Just wasn't sure if anyone knew.

Thanks, that's something we've become aware of.
The go-around is to use "Quick Navigation" at the top or bottom of the page:

That opens up the whole Quick Navigation Menu, where you can access everything:

Should be fixed now.

Thanks, CvP.

The Opera version is fixed, yay... but the FF version still looks the same. I use version --mumble,mumble-under-my-breath-- for FF though, so I am sure newer versions of FF likely have the problem fixed.

It is fixed for FF 53.

If you are on FF4, can't really help

lol

You can try out the new FF 53. It is suppose to come with a new compositor for faster perf.

Yes, I see that. Hm.
Firefox faster and more stable with the first big bytes of Project Quantum, simpler with compact themes and permissions redesign – The Mozilla Blog

"... And if you’re wondering about the Mac – graphics compositing is already so stable on MacOS that a separate process for the compositor is not necessary. ..."

It is fixed for FF 53.

I like the browser I use because it is a bit stricter with coding than the newer, more forgiving browser versions
Oh, those DIVs... always causing trouble! My browser version always sets me hunting if the layout has a quirk.
